Skynav

The government-ready scalable
controller for unmanned systems.
Simple, user-friendly, tough

What can Skynav do?

This lightweight hand controller makes it easy to manage autonomous flights, live video streaming, and data collection. Skynav is powered by Auterion Mission Control and controls all UAS’ running AuterionOS or communicating over MAVLink.

Its operator-friendly design reduces the controls and data needed for mission planning and deployment. A ruggedized, IP65 rating, and water-resistant design makes Skynav the ideal controller to accommodate any mission.

Skynav is fully compliant with the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act, Sec 848.

Benefits overview

Skynav controls any unmanned system communicating over MAVLink

Based on open source
